You can always count on some retailers / etailers to jump the gun when it comes to new stuff, and Komplett.de has a healthy habit of giving us something to write about.

The German retail chain has listed three Phenom 8x50 tri core CPUs starting. Unlike the B2 8x00 parts which were only available for OEMs and system integrators, these B3 processors will be available in retail.

The cheapest, and probably the most interesting, is the Phenom X3 8450, it is listed at €129 and clocked a modest 2.1GHz. It's followed by the 8650 at 2.3GHz for €145 and the 2.4 GHz 8750 for €159.
